Another 100-Star Book

Jenny went through a terrible trauma (in the first book), and is now trying to overcome it. She takes another babysitting job, but creepy things are happening a second time. She continues to get creepy phone calls, has tricks played on her . . . She literally thinks she has gone crazy. Is she imagining these creepy things or are they really happening again? How can they happen again? Jenny is determined to find out if she is crazy or if these things are really happening, and if so, who is doing it. You will not want to put the book down until you find out who is doing it. But I will not tell you. The entire book is fun and enjoyable. There is not one boring page or paragraph. Everything smoothly flows from one thing to the next. The plot is clever. This is a fun book because of everything that happens. Jenny and her friends are cool. And you will be surprised when you find out who guilty party is. This is Book II of a 4-book series. You don't want to miss any of the books. They are that good.

Heart pounding, teen thriller

When most people hear the name, R.L. Stine, their mind, nearly always, goes to Mr. Stine's well-known, Goosebumps series, that he has written over the years. But what many people do not know about is Mr. Stine's short "The Babysitter" series, which is just one of the other numerous amounts of series Mr. Stine has written over the course of his career. In particular, is the "The Babysitter 2". This is a gripping tale of a teenage girl's tale about her near fatal incident at the rock quarry with her former employer, Mr. Hagen. Fully aware of the recent attacks and killings of local babysitters, Jenny, full willingly, agrees to take a babysitting job across town, at a creepy old house, owned by the Hagen's. Jenny agrees to do this because of the desperate need for money in her single parented house-hold. She soon finds out that the insane serial killer is her employer, Mr. Hagen. When he attempts to knock her into the rock quarry, Jenny barely escapes by moving just a few inches. But in doing so, Mr. Hagen then goes flying over the edge, falling to his death. We meet Jenny after this horrible ordeal. She is now in therapy, with Dr. Schindler. In fact, she has even gotten a new baby sitting job with the Wexner's, who live just a few blocks from her house. Everything seems to going great for Jenny. That is, of course, until she starts receiving the same horrific phone calls that Mr. Hagen used to threaten her with. Jenny is terrified to about this. She thinks that it could be Mr. Hagen, and that he has come back from the dead to finish what he tried to start, which is killing Jenny. Jenny knows it can't be Mr. Hagen because she heard his body crack on the rocks at the rock quarry. But it is so hard to think rationally considering that she keeps having dreams that she is standing at the rock quarry and he is climbing over the edge, skin hanging off his skull, ready to kill her. This chilling novel will have your heart pounding in no time. This elaborate has a "No-one-can-guess-it" ending. The steep turns and twists in this book are so magnificently placed; you will be on the edge of your sit thinking about "Whodunit?"

Stine's series: "The babysitter" in, "The Babysitter 1", "The Babysitter 3", and "The Babysitter 4"Try and see if you can find out who is making Jenny relive her horrible experience with Mr. Hagen at the Rock Quarry.
